By the Poolside – David Hockney Style
Two men stand at the edge of a pool, their backs to the camera. Before them: a pool glowing bluer than the Californian sky. Hockney didn't paint pools realistically – he painted them more intensely, more radiantly, more unreal. The water isn't just blue; it is THE blue. And in the middle of it all: two frogs, imbuing the image with a touch of surrealism.
The Californian pool architecture in the background – white bungalows, palm trees, orange roofs – is pure Hockney aesthetic. But it's not about the setting. It's about the moment: two men, side by side, about to jump into the water. Or after swimming. Or just being there. Hockney always left room for interpretation.
Canvas print in four formats

Why Hockney painted pools bluer than reality
Hockney once said that Californian pools aren't really that blue – but in his memory, they were. So he painted them as he felt them, not as they were. That's what makes his pool paintings so iconic: they are not documentation, but an emotion. This image captures exactly that – a pool that is bluer than anything else in the picture.
About David Hockney (born 1937)
David Hockney is a British painter and one of the most influential contemporary artists. His pool paintings from the 1960s and 70s – such as "A Bigger Splash" and "Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)" – are among the most iconic works of modern art. Hockney was one of the first openly gay artists and explored queer love and desire in his works. His paintings hang in the Tate Gallery, MoMA, and the Getty Museum. Hockney is considered a living legend of the art world.
Who is this image for?
For Hockney fans, for people who understand that art does not depict reality, but interprets it. For everyone who loves Californian aesthetics and knows that sometimes a pool needs to be bluer than the sky. This image is not decoration – it is a statement.

Nothing is more beautiful than...
In Japan, during the annual fertility festival, they parade giant symbolic phalluses through the city. I confess, I, being crazy about cocks, wish we had this gesture in our culture too. As boys, we wake up one morning with a wooden feeling between our legs, and from then on, there's no peace. During puberty, it stands up at every inappropriate moment, no matter what we're thinking. Later, it reminds us every morning, having turned into a latte, that it controls us. That's no real excuse for harassing women with dick pics. But as gay men, we at least have one privilege: we are quite free to show each other our tools and be ecstatic about the other's. To art that elevates our fantasy
